When they say that they offer over 50 brands of traditional, premium, natural, and organic foods for your pets, you can believe it. The aisles are stacked with a wide assortment of foods of every imaginable type and make. They even include a raw bar and an amazing display of baked goods.

Only open since March, the store itself is beautiful with a nice upscale feel: wood finishes on the floors and fixtures, great and imaginative lighting, kiosks handling dog beds, toys, bones, and all kinds of accessories. When I dropped by Sunday, they had a rep from Wellness Core Foods describing their foods and health benefits. Cutter's Mill has a nice open layout with seats up front and a wide variety of items tastefully displayed for easy access and perusal.

The friendly staff encourages you to bring your pet, and they were able to answer all the questions thrown their way by the pet owners. They really seem to enjoy being there, visiting with the pets, and working with their visitors - the Trader Joe's of pet stores.

This is an upscale environment as evidenced by the Nieman Marcus inspired $2500 dog bed emblazoned with Swarovski Crystals so the pricing can match. By signing up for their newsletter, however, you will be notified of all the specials for each month so you can take full advantage of everything that is offered during the year. They also hold many special events from Letterman's Stupid Pet Trick Auditions to Pet Psychics and they support the local community with Certified Visiting Dog Trainers and many Animal Rescue groups.

If you are looking to pamper your animal with some special food or gift, this is definitely a place to look for that distinctive gift. If you are concerned about your animals diet or your pet has some special needs, this is the place to ask your questions.

They are open seven days a week and they do have four locations in the region but this is the only one in this area. Enjoy and say "Hi" to Gus while you're there. If you have any questions, let me know.
